Parents of Simon Breen County Clare 1896

[migalsal]

His parents were James Wm. Breen who married Mary McGrath. I have no other information about this couple except that they were Roman Catholic and may have come from Carrigaholt. Any more information would be greatly appreciated. They arrived in New York perhaps around 1947. They traveled to Rochester, New York State, then on to Hamilton Ont. where I have found other McGraths.

Don't see a marriage for the parents, don't see them in the census.
Where did you get the information on his birth and parents?

I may have discovered the problem here and if online tree I found is even remotely correct we've been wasting our time

We've been looking for a Simon Breen born 1896 Clare and haven't found birth or parents' marriage because...

Simon Breen born 1836 County Clare Ireland and died 1908 Ontario Canada.

So it's more likely that the Breens came to Canada in 1847 not 1947.

Is this another case of garbage being copied from one "tree" to another?
